The global powered access industry is in agreement that death and serious injuries at work are at an unacceptable level.

The industry has a window of opportunity to put itself in order or be regulated e.g. EU Standard EN280:2013. (EU Law from 1.1.2015 prohibits MEWPs with extended platforms to be driven on slopes where there is potential to overturn).

This may present a challenge for some companies.

Lucy Gaffney CEO of Communicorp recently said
“daring to innovate, create, change and stay relevant is what separates good companies from brilliant companies”. The industry now needs some brilliant early adopter companies to embrace this available technology offer.

The overall aim of our research and development programme has been to anticipate every industry requirement and to use innovative technology to deliver solutions for safer sites, safer workers, less fatalities, less serious injuries, less downtime, greater productivity and profitability. Industry committees have done great work and provided a continuous comprehensive and complete flow of safety advice and pamphlets. Kosran has taken every detail on board and incorporated them within our 21st-century technology system which implements our industry committee objectives.

Price: A Key objective achieved is that the system will be available at a ‘game-changing’ price
